FAQs

Is it normal to feel very tired in the second month of pregnancy?

Yes, fatigue is normal as your body adjusts to hormonal changes and works hard to nurture your baby. Listen to your body and rest as needed

Why do I feel bloated?

Hormonal changes during pregnancy slow digestion, causing bloating. Eating smaller, more frequent meals and staying hydrated can help ease discomfort.

Why do I feel so emotional?

Fluctuating hormones during pregnancy can cause mood swings. Relaxation techniques like yoga, deep breathing, or gentle walks can help you balance your emotions.

Is it safe to go to the gym?

Low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, or prenatal yoga are safe during early pregnancy. Avoid heavy lifting and high-intensity workouts. Consult your doctor for guidance.

Can I swim during my second month of pregnancy?

Yes, swimming is a safe and beneficial exercise during pregnancy. It’s low-impact, supports your body weight, and can ease aches or swelling.
